The padding property in CSS allows you to set the padding for padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, padding-left. It is a shorthand property.
Let us first see an example −
For example: padding:10px 5px 7px 10px;
Here,
top padding is 10px right padding is 5px bottom padding is 7px left padding is 10px
Example
The following examples illustrate CSS padding property −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
padding: 5% 10% 20% 5%;
background-image: url("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/images/home_tensor_flow.png");
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
div > div {
border-radius: 80px;
padding: 2em 2em;
box-shadow: 0 0 4px 0.8px black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>Learn TensorFlow
